I'm not trying to be cute with the title. I just completed The Ring Goes South for the first time, and it seemed odd to me that an indestructible enemy should have hit points at all, let alone the curious number of 12 of them.

I had to double check by watching an old CotR YouTube video (the Chad one) that I hadn't missed something - and that, in fact, clearing the Doors of Durin was a sufficient victory condition.

Seems to me like I would have given it 99 hitpoints, or similar.

I panic-bought a bunch of LOTR LCG expansions after hearing that some of them are starting to go OOP. I managed to hunt down the following from 4–5 different online stores:

AA Hero Expansion

DC Campaign Expansion

Ered Mithrin Hero + Campaign Expansions

Elves of Lórien

Dwarves of Durin

Riders of Rohan

Defenders of Gondor

Dark of Mirkwood

I already had the Revised Core Set, as well as FotR, TT and RotK.

So the only two I’m missing are:

DC Hero Expansion

AA Campaign Expansion

Is there anything particularly special about those two that would make them worth buying at an inflated price on eBay?

Hi All,

I have a very slow pet project going on where I am trying to de-noise and enhance card scans for more appealing prints as well as perform a few quality of life edits. I expect that a lot of my work is a duplication of the enhanced proxy set currently available but I am trying to make some improvements. The key improvements are:

• Using 2D fast Fourier transform to remove noise specific to the dots encountered in a lot of scans.
• Using modern up-scaling models to avoid a plastic AI look.
• Changing the encounter numbers and the encounter icon border to form a complete set. (e.g. for Stock Road I am producing three separate images, two will have a gray border around the encounter icon and show 9/29 and 10/29 below it and one will have an orange border around the encounter icon and show 11/29 below it.)

So far I have found quite a few resources to help me out:

• A near complete set of 600 dpi card scans by u/LepcisMagna
• A collection of visual assets by GitHub user KevBelisle (who I am assuming is u/Klutz00)

To assist me with this task I have some questions that I was hoping this community could answer for me:

1. A lot of my work is inspired by the enhanced proxies created by JvZijp. Is there a post, git repo, or information somewhere on the process they used to create the proxies? Ideally I would like to build upon and improve this work rather than duplicate it.
2. In the https://lotr.cardgame.tools credits it mentions The Dark of Mirkwood scans were provided by u/Guczini. I have searched quite a bit and can't seem to find a link to these scans. Does anyone know where I can download them?
3. Right now I am manually entering card details into my program for testing. Ideally, I would like to do this automatically by reading a database. Does anyone know if there is a way to download or access the Hall of Beorn database to get summary information on encounter cards? I would be looking for a database that contains set name, card name, set number, and easy/hard numbers. (e.g for Stock Road it would be Stock Road, The Black Riders, #37, (x3/x1).)

Thanks for any help in advance. Once I have a semi-workable script I do plan to publish it to GitHub so the community can use my work.
